Family was his home.
We are stunned and heartbroken and just starting to feel the gaping hole that he has left. We also know without a shadow of a doubt that he is having THE BEST DAY EVER in heaven, probably drumming too loud! Please pray for those of us he suddenly left behind, especially Aiden/Ezra/Chloe and me.
It’s been one week since we lost you. It still doesn’t feel real and I still don’t even know what to say. My brother-in-law, bonus big brother, and friend. According to mom I hated you when I was 3 because you were taking my big sister away from me, but I’m sure glad that changed. Thank you for all the years of laughter, eye rolls, and talks. Thank you for loving my sister and your family the way you did. What I wouldn’t give for one last bear hug and a joke. I sure hope they had a drum set waiting for you in heaven so you could “rawk out”.
Love you Paulie. We will miss you forever.
Love you Paulie….. miss you …. I hope you are at peace. All I can say is it’s really weird and I expect you to pop out any minute, to say something observant that draws out an interesting response, to add on like you did so well to a silly thought, a creative quip or a regular word that was made into a short song, to drum out the beat on the table, on the floor, with whatever utensil was in front of you, to sing that one song with your speaker blaring and your falsetto glaring, to say something very quick witted and usually innuendo focused… haha. You are still here —- right? Somewhere? I don’t feel like this is real…. this just doesn’t make any sense. We were supposed to start another business together, to go out to Killarney to use that pass, to get you a new truck, to go fishing, to get going on the workouts, to talk big theoretical solutions to all the worlds problems, you were just going to fix my garbage disposal last week dude. Now my eyes are leaking and my sink is too. (I’ll let you finish that one)
My heart aches. I know we saw this together and I know you love nights like this.
